Among the nobles, above the rank of lord, they all had a territory in Babylon that the Confederation had allocated to them as the foundation of the family inheritance and as a symbol of status. When he saw Bethcord's territory, Alan froze. Looking down from the ramp where the car is moving, it looks like a small town in the middle of an open valley.

The town is not grandiose, but it is delicate and elegant. The style of the buildings is mostly Gothic, except for the ordinary houses, the town's characteristic buildings, such as bell towers or churches, are decorated with stained glass curtain walls, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and long, winding corridors. As for the corners of the building, the stone carvings carved with angels or flowers are even more varied.

The main road is wide and level, running through the east and west ends of the town, with an ornate fountain in the middle and benches for resting. The main road is flanked by cobblestone walkways and flanked by a shaded strip of tall trees. The town is bustling with all types of shops, awnings, signs, and potted plants. The streets are full of people and full of life.

Just behind the town is a majestic mountain. The mountain peaks are towering, and they are ready to reach the clouds. The peak is silvery white, and it is covered with snow all year round. Beneath the snow line, it is covered in woods, with large green patches stretching to the base of the rolling hills, which eventually borders the valley.

At the foot of the hill, a majestic castle has been built. The castle is dominated by dark walls, towering minarets and family flags fluttering on the commanding heights, all of which show the majesty and heritage of this ancient family to the world.

"It's the town of Lewin, and it's home to a few side families, but most of them are people who work for the big family of Bethcord. These included maids, servants, craftsmen, cooks, guards, and so on. As for the castle of Ugal, it is the residence of the lord and the direct members of the family. The castle itself is a fortress that contains towers, artillery forts, military stations, warehouses, armament depots, command halls, and the living quarters of the adults. Among them, there are no less than 100 secret passages, and those who have just moved into the castle will have to spend more than half a year at the earliest to become familiar with the location of each area, otherwise it is very easy to get lost in it. Hassing, the butler, introduced Allen to the brief situation of Beskode's territory, and when he said these things, the old butler's face was flushed and slightly triumphant: "Oh, yes. The castle was built by the first patriarch of Beskode, Lord Ugal, so for more than 200 years, the castle has continued to bear the name of the Patriarch of Ugal. ”

Alan sighed lightly, "Are all the territories of the great nobles so big? If such a resource is used on the surface......"

"Young Master Allen, this territory, as well as Beskode's wealth, is what this family deserves. You didn't grow up in this family, so you don't know what Bethcord has done for the entire Federation. But it doesn't matter, you'll learn about these things later. Yes, like Bethcord, the great nobles who were able to obtain independent territorial rights were all contributing to the Federation and humanity, so they had this privilege. As for the size of the territory, it is naturally proportional to what they pay. Don't be surprised, if it's the wealthy, they even have their own floating islands. Of course, the orbits of those floating islands are far above Babylon, and it is difficult to see them in normal times. ”

Little Allen's head couldn't turn for a while, there were floating islands on top of the floating islands, Babylon was already so prosperous, how could those floating islands dedicated to the wealthy be so grand? It is no wonder that the contradiction between the surface and the floating island has not been resolved, and the gap between the two is like a cloud, and it can not be alleviated by the biennial death ring.

The speeding car had driven along the road into the small town of Lewin, and the town was bustled with pedestrians, occasionally a few children laughing and chasing each other, their faces filled with innocence and joy in the sun. Alan couldn't help but envy that they were so lucky to be born in Babylon, knowing that when he was about the same age as these children, he had to haunt the treacherous wilderness with the snow wolf to hunt prey and settle for food and clothing.

Looking at this town, according to Helsing, there are two thousand people in this town, and there are nearly a thousand people in the family guard affiliated with Bescord alone. This is still the case in Babylon, which shows the strength of the Bethcord family. As for the castle of Ugal, it is like an ancient beast lurking at the foot of the mountain, which may attack people at any time.

Although it is an ancient castle, many of the techniques and facilities that have been used in the castle today are relevant to the times. For example, the Rubik's Cube Energy Furnace, which is buried under the castle and supplies energy to the entire castle and the town of Lewin. Not to mention the rapid-fire particle machine guns and ion cannons in the turrets of the towers, if the fortress is misjudged for its true strength due to its antiquity, no matter which invader will pay a heavy price.

After all, in the castle of Ugal, there are even two Harrier Eagle frigates of their own. You must know that on Babylon, magic energy spaceships, especially attack ships, are strictly regulated resources.

When the car arrives at the main entrance of the castle, the gate opens on its own, and behind it is a cobblestone piazza. In a fountain in the square, a statue of Ugal, the first patriarch of Beskode, was erected. Fully armed family guards haunt the perimeter of the square and in the shadow of certain buildings, and in the event of an attack on the square, these guards can make a sufficient counterattack in a very short time.

Alan got out of the car and walked through the square and into the castle with Helsing. The interior of the castle has many long, winding corridors, and bright wall lamps on both sides make the space inside the castle as bright as daylight even when there is no sunlight. The floor of the corridor is covered with a long carpet, and the walls on the left hand side are decorated with frescoes or armor every ten meters.

The exterior of the castle is majestic, the interior is delicate and elegant, and every detail can feel the heritage of the famous family. However, there are also fly in the ointment, such as elevators will not be seen in the castle, after all, the pattern of some places cannot be changed, not to mention that the installation of an elevator in an ancient castle does seem nondescript. So Alan could only follow Helsing, stepping up the spiral staircase of the main building of the castle.

Eventually, Alan was taken to Horn's study. Opening the door, Horn was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out of the castle and the town of Lewin. Helsing gently closed the door for them, and Horn turned his head and smiled gently, "Come over to me." ”

Alan walked over, and Horn pushed him to the window and said, "Sue me, child, what do you see?" ”

The gaze first fell on the woods in front of the castle and the town, and then cast on the small town of Lewin. Spiraling and climbing up, Alan saw the wind and clouds, and suddenly felt that his mind was spreading infinitely, and the heavens and the earth seemed to have no limit.

Seeing him look up at the sky, Horn nodded: "A person's mind determines the achievement, Alan, it's good that you can fit a piece of heaven and earth, and not be confined to one castle and one town." I don't know how many boys always linger on those ancient pieces of the city when they come to the castle, and they are already happy to send them the same, but I don't know how such a narrow vision can be a big responsibility. ”

"But you have to remember that in Beth Kerry, you are not the only one who has seen the sky, and there are many of them who have put down a starry sky." Horn patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've got people looking for traces of the predators who attacked your town. ”

Alan looked at him in surprise, and Horn said indifferently: "You want to avenge your mother, as a father, why don't I want to recover this blood debt for my daughter." But I will respect your decision, and when I find their traces, I will pass on all the information to you. As for the cost of this qiē, it should be your advance. ”

"Master...... Grandfather. Alan jerkily called out the word, "Can I ask you to track down another matter." ”

"Oh, you say." Horn's eyebrows raised.

"I'm looking for a hunting group that they sold me to a man named Hearn so that he could take me into the death ring instead of his own son." Alan said in a deep voice, "I have something to store with them, and now, it's time to get it back." However, I don't know the name of their group......"

"It's okay." Horn snorted coldly: "It's only been half a year, and it's not difficult to track down the news of such a hunting group." I also want to see which blind guy dares to buy and sell my grandson! ”

He was clearly really angry, and an indescribable pressure suddenly filled the study. Horn snorted again, and then calmed down his anger: "If there is news, I will let Helsing sue you, and I will deal with these two things for you." Now, I hope you can listen to my advice. ”

"I'll listen."

"I'll make it public within the clan when I stay in the meeting. But even then, it won't be able to put you directly into the heir sequence. After all, I have banished Lannie from the family back then, and if you want to return, you must show the strength that can convince the family elders. The winner of the death ring is one, but it's not enough. Therefore, I would like to arrange for you to go to the Dawn Blade Academy, which is a school dedicated to cultivating talents for the children of our family, and if you can graduate from Zhongshun, then it will serve as an important certificate for the family's assessment of your ability. Horn paused, then laughed: "What's more, as the leader of a family, it is not enough to just know how to fight. Alan, there's still a lot to learn. ”

Alan nodded, "I really have a lot to learn." ”

"So you're agreeing?"

"I can't find a reason to say no." Alan spread his hands.

Horn laughed, nodded and said, "Very good, you are much more than Lanny in this regard." God knows how many tongues I wasted in order to send her to the academy. ”

Unintentionally said the name, but the grandfather and grandson fell into silence together. Fortunately, there was a knock on the door, which broke the solemn atmosphere in the room.

"Come in." Horn said.

Helsing pushed the door in, nodded and said, "Master, they are all here." ”

Horn said "um", put his hand on Allen's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let me introduce your mother's brother to you." And, as well as some of our old friends from Beth Kod. ”
